What are SCS Compute Units?
SCS Compute Units (CU) represent the compute resources used by customers when interacting with Startale Cloud Services (SCS). In simple terms, the total monthly CU usage is equivalent to a customer’s total service usage for that month.
Depending on the Pricing Plan selected, customers receive a monthly Base CU allocation.
- On Growth Plan and above, services auto-scale even after consuming Base CU.
- Auto-scaled CUs are billed at a different rate than Base CUs.
As of Feb 4, 2025, CUs are defined per JSON-RPC method in the Node RPC Service. Monthly usage is calculated by tracking the type and frequency of method calls. In future updates, more services will consume CUs.
Note: Not all services are CU-based. For instance, JSON-RPC throughput does not auto-scale with CU and is fixed based on your selected plan.
Refer to the official pricing page for more details.
